Yesterday I went for a walk after work, it was a bit longer than usual and I took my daughter with me. She started complaining after a while and we were walking a bit slower than I would have liked, but I walked all the same and that's what's important.
Today I went for another walk after work, so hopefully I'm going to start getting back in the swing of things. Unfortunately there is rain predicted for the next couple of days so I'll have to come up with some other way to exercise. I feel really self conscience doing sit ups or anything like that at home where my wife and kids might see me doing it. I don't know why that is but it is what it is.
I hope I can keep with it and that I lose some weight this week. It'll be pretty hard if I don't lose anything even with the extra walking getting done. I guess that's when I'll have to look at going to the gym a couple of times a week or something buying an exercise machine for home.
I've looked at getting a cheap eliptical trainer before as it would be cheaper than a gym membership. The biggest drama is that it would have to go in the garage and there isn't a lot of room in there as it is. Also it would be really hot in summer and freezing in winter.
One of my friends showed me their fitbit tracking for the week today and it blew me away. Over 105K steps for the week with an average of over 15K per day. Their best day was over 22K steps. I don't think that it is a normal week for them but it is a massive effort and something to strive for.
